Hi everyone, My apologies, I didn't expect to end up Top of HN. I'll try and get it back up. In the meantime, here is the YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxf8f9AQBgM&feature=plcp

Hi everyone,

Once again, my apologies for the downtime.

For some reason, this was the case:

    $ ulimit -n 
    > 1024
I thought I had set the ulimit to unlimited, but that wasn't so.

The site is alive, but may still be intermittent. Will keep you updated.

Getting this error: Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/root/apps/status/client/static/assets/main/1340976517230.html' at Object.openSync (fs.js:240:18) at Object.readFileSync (fs.js:128:15) at ServerResponse.

I hope the /root/ refers to the site's root directory and not root user's home directory. At least this confirms that it's actually running socketstream...

Probably not a good idea to run NodeJS as root.

This is great. I really like how you can test your widgets with sample data.

Because of the lack of a decent dashboard solution, we've been running our own. We absolutely wanted to use D3 and we wanted to have multiple, toggleable pages.

This might just do the trick.

Looks interesting. I looked at Geckoboard a while ago but gave up since the dashboards didn't offer the flexibility I needed at the time, and they were just too slow to render (I don't have a dedicated screen, just want to it the page often). One issue: I tried to sign up using Chrome 20 (Windows 7) and the dialog that appears is below the video in the Z-order.

(tangent) I've got a feeling this is a bug in Chrome; z-order is not respected in some embedded s. I've had this problem with sites that i've developed and haven't found a solution.

Website is still down, that's a shame - OP can't even get the homepage back online before showing HN. 30 minutes to bring back a homepage is pretty bad man, also your personal homepage http://paulbjensen.co.uk is returning NO CONTENT, is that on the same (bricked) server?

Hi,

Apologies for the downtime.

It turns out ulimit was set to 1024 when I thought I'd configured it to unlimited.

As for paulbjensen.co.uk, I removed that site about 3 months ago but didn't remove the link to it in HN. As for your question about the same bricked server, the answer is no, I run Dashku on a different server to the server that was hosting paulbjensen.co.uk.

What's your next step? Open-source the code, set up billing, improve the app (maybe move it off to a naturally-scaling cloud service)?

I mean, it's neat (understatement of the week) and all; but where do you plan on going from here?

Did you set the limit on the CLI or within your limits.conf file? limits.conf is how you persist the value between reboots.
